The true/false questions are about "society today". Many are factual (such as Q40: During the early 1960s income differences between black and white males with some college increased (true)). Others are subjective (such as Q37: At the same job level, Catholics are more conservative than Protestants (false, apparently)). Gameplay is roll and move, following the instructions on the square you land on. Shot-in-the-dark, limbo and imponderable cards are similar to community chest in Monopoly - random events that may be good or bad. With shot-in-the-dark cards you have to convince a judge (another player) of the merit of one side of a social issue.
